Partnership for New York City

The Partnership for New York City is a organization that was founded by David Rockefeller in 1979 and has a mission to "enhance the economy of the five boroughs of New York City and maintain the city's position as the center of world commerce, finance and innovation."


 * "The Partnership is a nonprofit membership organization comprised of a select group of two hundred CEOs (“Partners”) from New York City’s top corporate, investment and entrepreneurial firms. Partners are committed to working closely with government, labor and the nonprofit sector to enhance the economy and maintain New York City’s position as the global center of commerce, culture and innovation...


 * "The New York City Investment Fund is the Partnership’s economic development arm. To date, the Fund has raised in excess of $100 million and made more than 60 investments in businesses and nonprofit projects that promote the local economy. Currently, the Investment Fund is working on establishing a commercial biotechnology cluster in the city."


 * "The Partnership for New York City was formed out of the merger of two organizations: the New York Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the New York City Partnership." This merger occurred in 2002.
